‘NSync’s Lance Bass says he’s gay, admits dating Amazing Race’s Reichen

Jul. 26, 2006, 8:44 am | 0 comments

‘NSync band member Lance Bass has revealed he’s gay in People magazine, and has surprised precisely no one as his sexual orientation is the worst-kept secret of the year.

Lance also admits in People that he’s dating divorced Amazing Race star Reichen Lehmkuhl, with whom he has a “very stable” relationship. Both have been frequently seen together, and have even been photographed wearing each others’ clothes.

Long before he met Reichen, Lance flirted with reality TV. He almost went into space for a reality show and was approached about a celebrity edition of Survivor. He also once slammed Making the Band group O-Town.

about reality blurred

Welcome! I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 22 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You'll also find other people's insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred's goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
